BOPA 2016 Videos and BOPA Publications Now Available!

The BOPA Committee are delighted to announce that the key highlights from the BOPA Symposia at Manchester are now available in the Education and Training section of the new website here: http://www.bopawebsite.org/courses/symposium . This is a great opportunity for members who couldn’t make the Symposia or who missed sessions due to clashes in the agenda. Please do let us know what you think of this addition to the new website as we are keen to add more of this type of content if it is valuable to BOPA members.

Before Christmas we also made the BOPA ‘Publications’ section of the website live and we are adding content regularly to this – again, please utilise this resource and feel free to submit your own useful documents or guidelines to the committee for inclusion.

Happy New Year!

The BOPA Committee
